It makes me sick when reading about such garbage products like this. It shows what a gang of ruthless dirtbags Microsoft has become. With Windows now being not more than a a walking corpus and Microsoft's online "services" getting brutalised by Google, it is clear to see that Microsoft - by means of quality and customer orientation - is just a living corpus, a shadow of its former self. If you throw your money after such crap - selber schuld.

Windows is dead. And Microsoft should be dead.

Not the link to their teardown of the last Surface. Not much better junk it is.

You're right Skybird, what a load of crap, a small load though!!

Meh...

The Surface is what it is: a device designed for mundane people who want to do mundane things. It is by no means intended as a high-power, high-end laptop, and it is certainly not intended as a power game device. If you want to do more or less everyday activities, then the Surface should suffice. If you want to do advanced graphics, gaming, or, even, complex business applications, you need something else. Buying a Surface for something it wasn't intended to do is like buying a Smart Car and then complaining about its acceleration ability and/or its cargo capacity...

Also, I have seen much made of the inability to service or upgrade the Surface: again, the intended market for the device(s) is the same market that changes cell phones every few years, among other consumer products, and who are not prone to upgrade their existing devices, and who just buy a new device whenever the device goes out of fashion or fails...

It is what it is and nothing more...

If you do only everyday easy stuff and no gaming, you do not need a Surface at all. Plus it is hoepless overpriced, at least last time I checked . And then it has plenty of tehcnical problems and issues, with battery, with display... Google it. Lousy production quality, for overpriced charge.
